The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 13 Honest person! !

When they heard Little Pink Die singing "Second Sister Wang Missing Her Husband" out of tune, several tall and thick-set men below the stage began to clapped their hands and booed, and a man with a Chinese character face who sat at the table with them immediately scolded them for being unruly.

Several people were quite afraid of him, so they shrank their necks and surrendered.

Zhang Chenfei walked through the door and sat down next to the Chinese character face: "Uncle Wang, aren't you busy lately? Are you here to listen to music every day?"

The old rule in Sijiucheng is that when there is no work in the construction industry, you have to drink tea in a fixed teahouse and wait for work.

The man shook his head, with a sad look on his face, "There has been no business for half a month. Who has the money to repair a house these days?"

The man's name is Wang Mantang, and he is the owner of Longji Construction Co., Ltd., an old shop in Sijucheng.

Speaking of the "Long Ji" that has been passed down for nineteen generations, everyone in Sijiucheng knows about it.

Their eighteenth generation descendant is called Zhao Wanhe, who served on errands in the palace and only did "official work". He was a red-top businessman during the period of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Dongzhimen of Forty-Nine City, the Forbidden City, the Crystal Palace, and the Imperial Garden are all masterpieces of their work.

That is to say, after 1937, war broke out, and Long Ji, who had held his head high before, began to feel lonely.

Nowadays, the Zhao family's son-in-law, Wang Mantang, has become the 19th generation head of the family. He has done all kinds of odd jobs, such as brushing up his knowledge, setting up tables and chairs, etc.

Don't forget that "Long Ji" fell into despair in Wang Mantang's hands, but his own craftsmanship is top-notch. He is an expert in tile, wood, wood, stone, soil, paint, color painting and paste.

The construction industry is not easy to do now, and Wang Mantang's engineering team has not received any work for half a month.

No work, no food. Behind the twenty-five tricks of "Long Ji" are twenty-five families. Thinking of this, Wang Mantang feels sad! ! !
  Zhang Chenfei picked up a piece of salt water from the plate and ate it while listening to Wang Mantang detailing the recent difficulties.

After eating, Wang Mantang drank a cup of jasmine tea. After eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth and said, "I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious. I know you are in charge of this big beach and it is difficult for me to introduce you to a job."

"What kind of job?" Wang Mantang raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"I plan to clean up my two wing rooms. The house is not big, only about 35 square meters, but it needs to be renovated. I need to shovel the walls, replace the floor tiles, renovate the walls, build a kitchen and tidy up the toilets.
  Anyway, this series is enough to last you several months. "

It's not a big job, but it can solve Wang Mantang's urgent need, right?
  "Your house?" Wang Mantang raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Chenfei with disbelief on his face, "When did you get a house?"

Zhang Chenfei's father had studied carpentry with Wang Mantang in Long Kee for two years, although he later joined a steel rolling mill before graduating.

But if you really want to talk about it, Zhang Chenfei can be regarded as Wang Mantang's nephew.

The two families have always been in contact, so he knows very well what Zhang Chenfei is like. Hearing him say that he had a house at this time, he couldn't help but feel incredible.

I always feel like this second-rate guy is messing around again
  "No, Uncle Wang, are you looking down on me?" Zhang Chenfei pretended to be angry.

"How can that be possible? Uncle Wang is not that person." Wang Mantang hurriedly tried to make up for it, then changed the subject, "Well, I can understand cleaning the house, but why do you need to clean the toilet?"

Lao Xiao, a Feng Shui master from the construction factory on the side, also said: "You guys used to have toilets in the courtyard, but later they were filled in and used as kitchens for the Yanbu family. Why do you have to dig them out now?"
  Besides, building a toilet in a large courtyard is not something you and your family can decide on. "

Lao Xiao loves to show off his knowledge, so he immediately told Zhang Chenfei that there are specialties in building toilets in Siheyuan of Sijiu City.

It must be a yard with more than two entrances to be eligible to be built, and it must be built in the southwest corner. This is called the white tiger star position, which is a great evil. Building a toilet here will control the white tiger star, and the evil star will control everything.

"You just said that your house is in the southeast corner. Can other residents agree to build a toilet in that direction??
  Besides, if you dig a dry toilet, in the summer the yard will stink when the weather is sunny, and maggots will crawl all over the floor in the rain. How will everyone eat? ? "     Lao Xiao asked several questions in succession, Zhang Chenfei waved his hand and said,

"The dry toilet is definitely not good. Not only the neighbors can't stand it, but I also find it smelly. What I mean is, like those small buildings, have a flush toilet in the house."

He told Lao Xiao and Wang Mantang his thoughts, but was rejected by them again.

“People’s buildings have special pipelines, but the sewerage in your courtyard is an open channel!!
  When you go back to the house to poop, there is a piece of grain-reincarnation thing floating in the open channel, which is like thick millet porridge. The neighbors are not allowed to scold you? ? ? "

It doesn't matter if you scold you Zhang Chenfei, but if you scold us Long Kee and accept such a wicked job, are we being unfair? ? ?

Ah, this
  Zhang Chenfei thought about the beautiful scene in his mind: "Well, what if the toilet is only for bathing and washing, and we have to go to the public toilet to urinate and defecate."

Zhang Chenfei had already had an idea about bathing. He grabbed the pen and paper that Wang Mantang carried with him and drew a prototype for him. He also gave him some popular science, saying that this was a pot bath, which was very popular in some places in the south.

Wang Mantang and Lao Xiao looked at the drawings drawn by Zhang Chenfei, and their eyes suddenly widened: "Good guy, what a good guy. Isn't this the same thing we used to kill pigs and remove their hair back home in Dongshan?"

There was a large pot on the stove, with firewood burning underneath, and people were sitting in the pot taking a bath.

It's a very foreign thing to say, even a pot bath! !

Zhang Chenfei choked on a mouthful of salted beans and coughed it out, then said: "Can it be the same? There is a faucet above my pot bath!! It is used to add cold water when the water is hot."

Who can perm pig hair so high-end? ? ?

Wang Mantang looked at Zhang Chenfei and then at Lao Xiao: "Actually, you can do this by scalding pig hair, but it's just not worth the high cost."

It's not cost-effective to tear out a water pipe just to burn a pig's head.

Lao Xiao nodded in agreement: "If you really want to do it this way, it's actually more convenient to scald pig hair."

Zhang Chenfei was completely out of temper by these two uncles, and angrily pulled out a vicious smile: "You two talk really differently from ordinary businessmen, you are so honest!!"

This means that if you meet him, if you meet an outsider, you will be beaten to death! !
  After talking about the pot bath, Zhang Chenfei wanted to have other ideas, but Wang Mantang stopped him and said that it would be better to conduct an on-site inspection.

He called out his eldest apprentice, Lao Sheng'er, and asked him to take charge of Zhang Chenfei's project.

Zhang Chenfei curled his lips: "Brother Lao Sheng'er's job is too weak to poke. Uncle Wang, you have to do this job yourself."

Wang Mantang didn't even have any ink marks, so he said he would do it.

Let's go to your house now and have a look. If it's suitable, we can start work today and still get half a day's work.

Lao Xiao was flexing his fingers to pinch it, but he said that it was not appropriate to start construction today as the world was turning to kill Jiutu.

"Mantang, you and Da Fei go take a look and come up with a drawing and a budget, but you can't break ground. You have to wait until tomorrow." He warned.

Although Wang Mantang muttered that the new society did not believe in the old almanac, he still sought Zhang Chenfei's opinion and asked if it would be okay to start construction tomorrow?
  "Okay, it won't take more than half a day. Then Uncle Wang, let's leave now." Zhang Chenfei said and stood up.

Seeing that he was leaving, Xiao Pinkie on the stage followed him with her eyes. Zhang Chenfei didn't pay attention, but Wang Mantang noticed it.
